Praise and Projects

First, let me start by thanking all of you who offered encouragement or suggestions about the whole child care situation. Really it helped me to be at peace with whatever the outcome happened to be. Praise God that He already had a plan and thanks to Lorie for helping to get that plan in motion. It looks like we'll be able to work something out with Colleen, which I'm really excited about. 1st of all, she's a Christian, 2nd she's a Chambless (you know the family that's "more wholesome than buttermilk"), and third she's just an awesome mom and person. I'm really excited to get to know her better through this whole situation and just to know that Aubrey will be with someone that I trust is amazing! PRAISE GOD!

Secondly, let me just take a minute to praise God for the incredible weather today (Meg wasn't it your grandpa that used to just thank God for all the little things during his day...like thank you God for that tree...or am I totally on my own wavelength here?). I LOVE FALL! Today was such a fallish day, just beautiful! We put our fall wreaths up and I can't wait to get out all the decorations this weekend. YAY for fall! And of course the fall weather got me really itching to get Aubrey's halloween costume ready. Not that I wasn't itching before that, but now I'm really ready to go, which moves me on to the projects part of the post.

PROJECTS


Some projects I've already been working on are these cute spider bows. I saw them on e-bay and went to buy all the supplies the next day. UM yeah...I get randomly inspired OFTEN! (That's why I have a collection of craft stuff that just keeps building) I've made like 7 so far. Christy brought 2 to some girls at her work. I made one for Gracie, one for Aubrey and I'm just waiting to see how many of the soon to be born Chambless babies will be girls. I was too lazy to take my own picture because I'd have to plug the camera in, etc. So this is the one from e-bay. Mine have a white stitch down the middle of the ribbon legs and the bow on the spider is a bit different. I also made mini ones with smaller korker ribbons as well as the big ones. Can't decide which ones I like better.




I also bought fabric to make Aubrey a bee costume for halloween. My dad's a bee keeper, so I want Aubrey to be the "queen bee" for Halloween. I found this cute "boutique" costume on e-bay for...get this... $150. YIKES! Yeah, not buying that, but I can borrow ideas from it. I'll use a t-shirt instead of that cleaver little stretchy thing, but I think it'll turn out okay. I'll keep you updated.

So thanks again for all of your prayers. Please continue to pray for my grandma's health. Thanks!
